bakerslondon

There’s something magical about autumn,  the golden leaves, the crisp air, and the comforting aroma of baked treats wafting through the kitchen. At Bakers, we believe every season deserves its own flavour story, and this autumn, we’re bringing you the ultimate pumpkin maple cream cheese frosting rich, velvety, and irresistibly spiced.

Perfect for topping your favourite Bakers frozen cookie dough creations, this recipe captures the essence of the season in every bite. Whether you’re baking at home or simply spreading it over our freshly baked cookies, it’s the coziest companion to your fall treats.


🍂 The Flavour of the Season, Baked Into Every Bite

Here’s how you can make it at home:

🧈 Ingredients:

  • 57 g unsalted butter, softened

  • 113 g cream cheese, softened

  • 40 g pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 240 g powdered sugar, sifted (plus 20–30 g more if needed)

  • 15 g (1 tbsp) maple syrup

  • 2.5 g (1½ tsp) vanilla extract

  • 0.5 g (½ tsp) ground cinnamon (optional, but adds a warm spice)

  • Pinch of salt (~0.25 g)


👩🍳 Method:

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy.

  2. Add the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, and mix until well combined.

  3. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.

  4. Taste, adjust the sweetness, and add a pinch of salt to balance the flavours.

  5. Spread generously over your freshly baked Bakers cookie dough cookies especially our Pumpkin Spice, Maple Brown Butter, or Classic Chocolate Chip dough flavours.

🎃 Baker’s Tip

For that perfect bakery-style finish, chill the frosting for 10–15 minutes before using. It’ll hold beautifully and give your cookies that professional, decadent swirl.
